Shanahan’s Centra Borrisoleigh Going for Gold in The National Q Mark Awards

The best of the best in the Irish business community have created an exciting but orderly queue as the nominations for The National Q Mark Awards 2016 have been revealed.

The glitzy, black tie ceremony, which will take place on Friday the 30th of September, will see over 150 companies converge on Dublin’s Double Tree By Hilton Hotel on Burlington Road to battle it out for the much coveted Q Mark Awards.

The Q Mark is awarded only to companies who achieve the highest standards of quality and excellence, with The Q Mark criteria ensuring that companies exceed legal requirements rather than simply meeting them. Companies who achieve The Q Mark provide their own customers with added confidence in their products and services as it is an incredible quality tool that monitors 100% of their systems, processes and procedures for best practice, 100% of the time.

Irene Collins, Managing Director of EIQA (Excellence Ireland Quality Association) speaking at the launch of this year’s awards said “To be nominated for The Q Mark Awards is an enormous achievement, particularly as the operating standards continue to increase year on year. She continued; “Companies who hold The Q Mark demonstrate to their customers that the highest standards of quality and excellence are at the heart of their business and that really is something worth celebrating!

EIQA, established in 1969, is the Irish National Quality Association promoting business excellence across all industries.

In an era where we are all expected to live longer, the GAA, Trinity College Dublin and Irish Life have come together to highlight the secrets to successful ageing through a series of regional seminars.
